You're now a Single Issue Voter. What is it?

Since racial justice and equality will never actually be a thing, I guess my next best bet is income inequality.

They'll never actually deal with that either

To some extent, I actually think they would probably deal with racial justice and equality first.

I think the influence ones at the top ( who all share similar traits ) would rather fan the flames of feminism and racial equality as long as it is tremendously beneficial to their bottom line.
 
Climate Change
After that, space and science funding

Ensuring the survival of our and other spieces should be our #1 priority. Everything else, as crucial as it is, comes secondary.

Of couse I'm not a single issue voter thankfully and the people who tend to beleive in global warming also share other simmilar views with me.
 
Canadian Unity

I vote for the Federal party (Liberals) that defends Canadian Unity the strongest without ever giving in to the demands of nationalists or seperatists.

Provincially, I vote for the only party that guarantees to never hold a referendum on secession
 
Full Communism

Freedom of speech, if that's something in question during this hypothetical election. With freedom of speech, everything else can be repaired eventually. Freedom of speech is the fundamental tool of democracy. Without it, democracy cannot exist.
 
Election reform in general (districts, finance, ease of voting, etc.), everything else would work itself out after that.

Failing that, I agree with climate change.
 
Getting bribery (aka contributions) out of politics.

The American political process being dominated by those with the deepest pockets is a subversion of our democracy. If this doesn't happen I'm really scared there's going to be massive bloodshed a generation or two from now. People are losing patience with plutocrats. "Let them watch Netflix" ain't gonna last forever.
 
Jobs, specifially those affecting my age group at the moment. You can't tell an entire generation to go to college, then tell them "well too bad, economy sucks and now there's no jobs for you to pay back your debt!" When all the jobs college kids would've had are given to others, it becomes harder and harder for me to find decent paying work. You go to college so you can avoid having to take a job at McDonald's not so you can get one at McDonald's.

The wage gap in general is a subject I wish more would do about, but hey- they get paid 6 figures with tax dollars alongside all the other money they have...
 
Global Warming.

Quite frankly, I truly am a single issue voter—if a republican candidate took a stronger stance on Global Warming than the democratic one, I would vote for him (or her), despite all the other republican policies I disagree with.

It really is the single biggest problem of our time, and I'm not sure why it isn't treated that way by more people.
 
Healthcare.

It should be a universal basic right accessible to any member of society, regardless of income, status or background.
 
Probably Protecting Religious Freedom and Freedom of Speech. Related to that supporting official explicit Supreme Court recognition of Freedom of Conscience. I'm pretty sure the Court has alluded to it before but never has officially recognized it the way the have recognized the right to privacy.

As a young christian conservative with some libertarian leanings nothing terrifies me more or leaves me lying awake in bed a night more often than the idea of the state forcing individuals to violate their consciences (both directly and indirectly by raising compliance costs to extraordinary levels) because their out of step with what modern secular society says is acceptable and what it values.
 
focusing on the education system in general, as I think that would tie into many of the topics other people have mentioned that I find concerning as well (such as climate change).

It might be harder for people to be anti-science if the education system actually taught science literacy, kept religion completely out of the picture (other than in a history class), etc, rather than just acted as a diploma/degree factory
 
Basic income would be the single vote I'd stand for.

Sad that this won't become an option until a social crash, and one shall come. :(
 
Close call between education and healthcare, because both are in bad shape and both mean absolutely everything.

Think if I had to choose one it'd be healthcare. Our healthcare system still needs so much work and I have a fundamental problem with insurance companies, for health, existing at all. I think their very existence is immoral.
 
That's a tough one. In my country, most parties are similarly progressive on social issues (or, at the very least, the political discourse is usually level-headed and healthy). I think I would have to go with increased funding for research, particularly sustainable energy (with a focus on renewable sources, but more importantly feasible fusion technology) and stem cell - based medicine.
